Signs for Moses

1 Moses answered, “What if they do not believe
me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD
did not appear to you’?” 2 Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in
your hand?”
“A staff,” he replied. 3 The LORD said, “Throw it on the ground.”
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a
snake, and he ran from it. 4 Then the LORD said to
him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the
tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the
snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5 “This,” said the LORD, “is so that they may believe
that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of
Jacob—has appeared to you.” 6 Then the LORD said, “Put your hand inside
your cloak.” So Moses put his hand into his cloak,
and when he took it out, the skin was leprous, like snow. 7 “Now put it back into your cloak,” he said. So
Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when
he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his
flesh. 8 Then the LORD said, “If they do not believe
you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe
the second. 9 But if they do not believe these
two signs or listen to you, take some water from
the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water
you take from the river will become blood on the
ground.” 10 Moses said to the LORD, “Oh
Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in
the past nor since you have spoken to your servant.
I am slow of speech and tongue.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
